I was afraid that if i did that i would loose too much and drop below my min. level. I will give that a try and check it more frequently throughout the day.

It is 6%. i get about 10 hrs of sun a day.

I have a fiberglass pool and question the returns near the steps. There is a return on both sides with a regular eyeball fitting. The eyeball fitting is only attached to the wall, the water comes out of a brass pipe about 3 inches from the pool wall. It appears there is a cavity that is full of...

My cya was 20 and I was using more bleach per day than I wanted. I added 4 lbs of stabilizer to bring my cya up to 40 and my usuage dropped in about half. My demand went back up about 3 weeks later, rechecked my cya and it was down to 10. I had to backwash 2 times in the last 2 weeks and had...

I have some black stains on the floor of my pool that look like a burn from a lighter ( dark spot with a tail). I have had them every year, seems like some years are worse than others. Any way to get rid of them?

It has been a couple of weeks since I last back washed. My normal (clean) psi is 16.

My strainer basket housing on my pump has a hairline crack that sucks in air when pump is running. Is there anyway to repair this? Thanks

It is more like 9ppm to 5ppm per day, so not quite 50%. If I add the borates, will I use less chlorine or am I able to run at a lower fc level?

I did the fc overnight loss last night, after dark it was 5.5 and the same this morning. So I am usuing about 4ppm during the day, is that normal or am I still missing something? Thanks

Re: Daily bleach usuage I have not had any heavy rain untill yesterday and last night, therefor I am waiting to do my overnight fc loss untill the heavy rains stop.

This is my first year on BBB, and my pool looks great, thanks to TFP. My question is, I am having to add 1.5 gal of Aldi tundra daily to maintain 6ppm fc, the water temp is 70 deg the daily temp is averaging 65 deg and there is no bather load, is this excessive? Can I reduce this demand by...

This will be my first year on BBB 100%, ended last year on bleach. Opened pool on Fri. water was murky, greenish blue. I could see alot of leaves covering main drain and dirt on the walls. I vacumed the leaves out and brushed the walls, could no longer see the bottom in deep end and water was...

The pool store sells 5 star pool antifreeze for $5.00 a gal, the farm supply store sells RV antiffreeze for $3.oo a gal. Both are good to -50f. Will the RV antifreeze mess with my water balance next spring when I open? Should I not use the RV antifreeze?

I have my chlorantor set a 1, I try to get 22 pucks to last a week. If I set it wide open they would bea gone in a couple of days. I do use the clear , I don't use a solar cover. I agree, the pool looks great when things are right. Lately I have had to use double the pucks to keep fc at 1.5...

To hold 5-10 ppm, will I than be adding 4 jugs a day. I shocked to 20ppm over the weakend to get it clear, but now is starting to cloud again. I am sure I can get it to 5ppm but am concerned about having to add that much chlorine everyday. Thanks

Been running synergy for 2 years now and tend to have problems with cloudy water, mustard alge and water mold, suspect it is due to the low chlorine level synergy runs at 1.5ppm. I have to add (2) 3/4 gal jugs of 6% aldi bleach every day to maintain 3.0ppm. What am I doing wrong.Thanks. fc 3.0...
